Me Likey Jakey
I never get out enough, I swear. I found out about the Ukulele Festival a few days ago, and dragged Husbandido out for a dose of the Uke. I am a fan of fun music: ukulele, harmonica, accordions. You name it. I'll even listen to a kazoo.
We went to see Jake Shimabukuro (who strangely reminds me of one famous painter, Michael Sacramento), and we weren't disappointed. He was in Japan touring and stopped by SF, only to return tomorrow. Go figure, huh. I guess that's how he rolls.
Husbandido met and spoke with him. There's a pic of them on the other blog, you know which one. He was a genuinely nice guy. I was really impressed as I watched him work the crowd. He has nice hands, btw. We saw a bunch of Ukulele groups and I really enjoyed The Paper Dolls too. I was hoping to see more Hawaiian Ukulele stuff, but found there was more of the kitschy ukulele action. It's all good. The sun was nice, and we had great seats near the man.
I had a crap experience this morning. I was trying to schedule a haircut with my new dude...I've seen him twice, and that was cool. But since he's left his salon, he just swings to each person's crib to do his gigs. So I scheduled with him tuesday. couldn't pull it off. he rescheduled for Friday. He couldn't pull that fucker off either. He scheduled for Saturday. Didn't show. I texted him. I called him. No call. I'm a little upset about that, so I'm going back to my homegirl for cuts. Yes, it's twice what he costs, but you just don't do that.
Oh and as a gift, I'm taking his business elsewhere. Let's go, girls!
Sucka!

Heyyyy....I was there, too! Was in the area with the fam, wondered why all the people in Yerba Buena, stuck around for a bit until homie's standing ovation, and headed to the park. Very cool that you got to meet him!
